Schoolhouse Rock ★ Complete Emmy Award Winning TV Series - with Subtitles and Master MKV Videos.

I wish to thank user Elijah Hechtman: for uploading ISO Images of three Schoolhouse Rock DVDs to his account. I only had to get one missing video from YouTube in order to complete this whole set of 65 lessons - so, basically, this wonderful treasure is all to Elijah Hechtman's credit!!

All I did was extract the new, clean video (and subtitles) from those 3 DVDs he uploaded, and organize the videos, and put them here all neat and tidy: for you to consume - he did the real, hard, work by uploading 3 Archival Quality files!!!

A Collection of ALL 53 original videos created before 2003 - Plus 12 more new videos added in 2009 [these 12 never aired … they went Direct to DVD] - and 8 Bonus Videos … gathered from the 3 DVDs. This series won 4 Emmy Awards over its more than 2 decade long Run … well deserved!

https://web.archive.org/web/20240730010613/https://dvd.fandom.com/wiki/Schoolhouse_Rock!:_Special_30th_Anniversary_Edition

Schoolhouse Rock! Special 30th Anniversary Edition is a boon to the Schoolhouse Rock name: every single cartoon that existed at the time, compiled onto disc, with some bonus material.

I got one lesson from YouTube - and repaired it - to finish this collection.

Then, by September 25th, 2024 - I finally added in the last 12 Lessons from the Schoolhouse Rock - Earth DVD: that was released in 2009!

May I present to you: all 65 Schoolhouse Rock Lessons they made - most with English Subtitles!!!

You are welcome.

I found the first two DVD ISO Images for Schoolhouse Rock! Special 30th Anniversary Edition here: https://archive.org/compress/23048/formats=ISO%20IMAGE&file=/23048.zip and I'm grateful to Elijah Hechtman for uploading them. I found the "Missing from the DVD" Scooter Computer Episode "Introduction" over at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVYTnjzwX64 - with an Ad in it.

A week later I found the third DVD ISO from the Series - also in Elijah Hechtman's collection, Here: https://archive.org/download/058103/SCHOOLHOUSE_ROCK_EARTH.ISO

I carefully post processed those three DVD ISO Images - and extracted all of the MKV 'Master Files' from them (and I Removed a "Mario Paint" advertisement) - while leaving in all subtitles and alternate audio tracks.

I got all 53 of the original "Classic" Schoolhouse Rock Episodes made before 2003 (even the very rare #32 "Presidential Minute" - which most of us had never seen before: because it was never aired on TV) - and most of these have English subtitles.

I got another 12 videos that were never aired - they went direct to DVD - from the Schoolhouse Rock - Earth DVD ISO image. There are Two Languages of Audio Tracks (English, French) and three languages of Subtitles: in MOST of Those 12!

8 Bonus videos from those DVDs were thrown in to this complete collection.

And then ALL 73 "Master" MKV Videos were converted to MP4 Versions - also with Subtitles. In order to use the subtitles - or alternate audio tracks, in either the .MP4 or the .MKV videos: you must download them to your device, and play them from there - with a media player (like VLC) that shows subtitles.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: https://web.archive.org/web/20240823003530/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoolhouse_Rock!

Schoolhouse Rock! is an American interstitial programming series of animated musical educational short films (and later, music videos) which aired during the Saturday morning children's programming block on the U.S. television network ABC. The themes covered included grammar, science, economics, history, mathematics, and civics. The series' original run lasted from 1973 to 1985, it was later revived from 1993 to 1996.

Schoolhouse Rock! debuted as a series in January 1973 with Multiplication Rock, a collection of animated music videos adapting the multiplication tables to songs written by Bob Dorough. Dorough also performed most of the songs, with Grady Tate performing two and Blossom Dearie performing one during this season. General Foods was the series' first sponsor; later sponsors of the Schoolhouse Rock! segments also included Nabisco, Kenner Toys, Kellogg's, and McDonald's. During the early 1970s, Schoolhouse Rock was one of several short-form animated educational shorts that aired on ABC's children's lineup; others included Time for Timer and The Bod Squad. Of the three, Schoolhouse Rock was the longest running.

Just about everyone loved this hit series - and we are glad to see them all together in one place again. The original concept was genius, and inspired, and these videos still have amazing educational value - even over 50 years later! (Some of these are good for several more Centuries to come. Fact. How soon are they going to revise the multiplication tables?)

Let Your Kids grow up with these 65 Songs - new to them - why should YOU have had all of the Fun?

Here is what we have:

Multiplication Rock, Season 1 (1973)

No. overall	No. in season	Title	Performed by	Written by	Original air date
1	1	"Three is a Magic Number"	Bob Dorough	Bob Dorough	January 6, 1973
A magician shows how magic the multiplication of 3 really is, including a family of three and a football team whose uniforms are numbered in threes. "Three Is a Magic Number" was the pilot episode and had originally aired in full as part of Curiosity Shop on September 2, 1971 (two years before ABC aired the show). When aired on Multiplication Rock, a small portion was cut due to an error: Dorough had included a claim that there were exactly three multiples of three in every set of ten natural numbers, but this generalization fails when the first number in the set is a multiple of 30, in which case there are four multiples of three.
2	2	"My Hero, Zero"	Bob Dorough	Bob Dorough	January 13, 1973
A young boy portrayed as a superhero shows his skeptical older sister the importance of the digit 0 as well as multiplication by powers of 10.
3	3	"Elementary, My Dear"	Bob Dorough	Bob Dorough	January 27, 1973
The multiplication of 2 is taught in the context of a non-religious version of the story, Noah's Ark.

A teacher (Miss Simpson) takes her class on a field trip to the zoo where they use the animals (Alpacas, Ibexes, Kudus, etc.) to learn the multiplication of 4.

A boy (who is the oldest of a group of students) counts by fives during a game of hide and seek with his friends. (Irby's writing credit comes from the inclusion of some lyrics from his composition "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie," a hit song by Jay and the Techniques.)
6	6	"I Got Six"	Grady Tate	Bob Dorough	February 24, 1973
This is the first to feature an African-American child as the main character of the series. It teaches about the multiplication of 6 with visits to the neighborhood candy store, a restaurant, and an African prince. It also explores the commutative property in multiplication.
7	7	"Lucky Seven Sampson"	Bob Dorough	Bob Dorough	February 17, 1973
Lucky Seven Sampson is a happy-go-lucky but mischievous rabbit with the number 7 stamped on the bottom of his right foot and a black circle around his left eye. He teaches kids from Public School #7 about the multiplication of 7. It also explores the distributive property for multiplying 7 by numbers greater than 10.
8	8	"Figure Eight"	Blossom Dearie	Bob Dorough	February 24, 1973
During school on a cold winter's day, a young girl's thoughts about the multiplication of 8 revolve around winter games, particularly ice skating. The video briefly explores the distributive property of multiplication/addition for multiplying 8 by numbers higher than 10, and closes by noting the numeral 8's resemblance to a sideways infinity symbol.
9	9	"Naughty Number Nine"	Grady Tate	Bob Dorough	March 17, 1973
A Minnesota Fats-like feline pool hustler plays a game of nine-ball, with a mouse as his usual target, in the process showing multiplication by 9. It also looks at the phenomenon that any multiple of nine will have its digits add up to nine (e.g. 3 x 9 = 27, and 2 + 7 = 9). This short came out two years after the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act had prohibited cigarette advertising; it did not, however, prohibit the depiction of smoking in fiction, even in children's programming, so long as it was not a sponsored tie-in. In the short, Number Nine puffs a cigar throughout. ABC Broadcast Standards and Practices, after initially rejecting the short for this reason, relented and allowed the short to air when it accepted that the cat was a villain and would not encourage children to smoke. It remained in rotation through the rest of the series run.
10	10	"The Good Eleven"	Bob Dorough	Bob Dorough	March 24, 1973
Winged angels take us through the multiplication of 11 while continuously bumping into the number 10. The distributive property of multiplication and addition, plus the commutative property of multiplication are also briefly explored.
11	11	"Little Twelvetoes"	Bob Dorough	Bob Dorough	March 31, 1973
In this space rock piece, a yokel (the slowpoke from "Ready or Not, Here I Come") encounters Little Twelvetoes, a peculiar, Mad Hatter-like extraterrestrial lifeform in a flying saucer who has twelve fingers and toes each and counts using base-twelve (which is demonstrated with the Frank Emerson Andrews notation of χ and ↋ for the tenth and eleventh digits). Having only ten fingers and toes, the yokel must learn multiplication by 12 "the hard way," and Little Twelvetoes obliges with a game of interplanetary pinball before disappearing into the night.

14	3	"Conjunction Junction"	Jack Sheldon, Terry Morel & Mary Sue Berry	Bob Dorough	November 17, 1973
In a railyard, a train conductor (Sheldon in his series debut) shows the viewer how conjunctions work by hooking up boxcars representing words, phrases and clauses with one of three conjunction boxcars: AND (a red boxcar), BUT (a yellow tank car), and OR (a green hopper car). Years later, this episode served as inspiration for a Norfolk Southern rail television ads that took place in the early to mid-2010s.

In bypassing Earth, she is mistaken for a UFO by the "weird" Earthlings. Near the end, it mentions the possible existence of exoplanets in other planetary systems (something that was eventually confirmed in 1992). "Interplanet Janet" became outdated within three months of its first airing, due to Pluto being mentioned as the ninth and farthest planet from the Sun; on February 7, 1979, Pluto's orbit came closer to the Sun than Neptune's, a situation that remained until Pluto moved further out on its elliptical orbit in 1999.^[4] Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet along with three other celestial bodies in 2006.^[5] It was always re-aired intact, but structured so that the Pluto section could be edited out without clear inconsistency.

This song teaches the three basic components of weather in the style of a vaudeville show.

The short only aired on television a couple times during the 1990s revival, and it was not included on most VHS releases after that date. On the DVD release of the series, it is included as a separate lost episode, using the name "The Weather Show."

The song is a discussion of the continuous increases in the United States national debt, which is portrayed as an ever-growing Tyrannosaurus rex. Bill from "I'm Just a Bill" makes a cameo at the very end.
